[PW] Functional Wooden Round Pen - Pets

Thank you for 100,000 downloads! I wanted to make something super special to celebrate my 100k/1 million goal other than a cake, so I put a little extra work into creating this for my equestrian loving TS4 people everywhere.

I now have a Patreon for the higher quality early-access mods, and soon will fill it to the brim with TS4 modding tutorials. I hope to see you there!

I made this round pen as a test to see if it was even feasible since it requires bone editing, weight painting, and custom pathing- it did end up working after a week on and off of efforts so the next one I make will be truly fancy. I have fallen in love with this do-it-yourself wood look, though!

Features:
❥A fully functional round pen! Your sim can direct your horses to train their agility here.
❥ Comes with (optional) easy snap-on fully functional, animated, custom-lockable gate that keeps horses in to roam when not lunging.

❥ Snapping points for your decor, beverages, and a few for mod authors to create tack to hang over the railing.
❥ Red flag will go up if your sim needs to reset the arena due to a horse failing an agility training attempt from the game's RNG system.
❥ Under 4k polys. (It's a LARGE model so this is a good count.) Has LODs at 50% of count. (AKA It's not going to eat your game's performance.)

You may also use the round pen open faced, which is useful if you're trying to make a small arena attached to a hallway. (Use TOOL mod to rotate the pen if the angle you want isn't available.)

Great Terms for Modders/ Pose Makers / Recolorists

I look forward to the fence sitting sims and lunge pose horse antics ya'll come up with for this one. :)

You can paywall/patreon the following:

Poses related to the round pen in any way! :)
Separate items made for this round pen that go with it somehow, such as using its included snap points for mod authors in order to create tack that hang over the railing of the fences or other modeling work.

You can MODIFY and create public mods without notifying me for the following, but DO NOT paywall. These can be on patreon if it is free access though!

Recolors (Must require this as a dependency)

Mesh Edits (Including just using my custom footprint for pathing that keeps horses only able to enter/leave through the front.) <- Export as binary, import the footprint to your project, build the model of your round pen/other item over the top of the footprint. Export the mesh from my package to see a visual indicator of the footprint. It's not necessary for your project to function to have this mesh, I included it for you modders to paste into your own project as a template to build on because I'm a bro. (A lady, but a bro. Ya feelin me dawg?)

*If you use my actual model or texture as a basis for your mesh edit, please link here and give me some credit, ya?

Bugs:

-If you use debug commands from selectable pets, some animations have a chance of occasionally outside of the pen.

-The door opens inward instead of outward but it's a pain to correct and the mod looks gorgeous and works so whatevs.

-Not a bug, but the UI text still says 'run barrels'. Reason: I made super cute UI entries for text and it started to create really strange behavior in game so I had to set them all back unfortunately.
